Towards Climate Resilience

Western Australia is a dry State in a dry continent. Water is vital to life and our quality of life and it supports the natural environment, public health, the economy, community amenity and recreation.

To ensure that there is enough water for all, we need to address the challenges of our drying climate, increasing population and minimising our environmental impact. We all need to work together to reduce our water use, recycle more water and develop new sources to supplement existing supplies. 

The Water Corporation's 50 year plan - Water Forever: Towards Climate Resilience looks at how we can work together to make Perth and surrounding areas more climate resilient to ensure sufficient and sustainable water supplies for Western Australia. 

Adopting a portfolio approach, Water Forever has identified over 800 gigalitres of source options to manage our demand and supply balance in the metropolitan area.
